Tiny Complaints

I worked this morning, walked a round of golf, and now I’m procrastinating going to my Zumba class which I already paid for because the heated blanket and 8 lbs of cat on me is too comfortable.

Bloom them and check!

I just read 90 stories/poems/journal entries for a Thing and well over half of them were Bad.

There are Shenanigans going on between a local nonprofit org that I’m involved with and find very meaningful and the city, likely due to our new mayor, that may mean not only this nonprofit, but others like it, are going away. This breaks my heart. (intentionally vague; if it does indeed happen I will share details so you all can help me rain hell.) It’s just… we’re trying to do a positive thing that benefits the community and to have the city go FUCK YOU, YOU CAN’T, BECAUSE MONEY is so disheartening.

Apparently I cannot keep up with everything I follow on the forums if I am at work without internet access for two days.

Apparently tte forums is actually a substantial detriment to my productivity.

Bah humbug.

Oh OK I thought it was a “will make you sick” date. I am going to try a no-yeast version anyway and will consider using the yeast later (I’ve had so many illnesses lately that I am not willing to risk even the phantom of food issues from using things past their BBD).

also thanks to Gdogg and B_J for chiming in. I will keep this in mind for future yeasty attempts. These are the little single-serve packets of yeast kept in the pantry.

We had a cold snap last night, so all my outdoor fresh basil is dead and none of my indoor fresh basil is ready yet because winter in Colorado is a sneaky motherfucker I’m never prepared for.

I want to bake but it is warm outside and I’m wary of heating up the house. Hmm.

You can send your heat my way. It’s currently 61F/16C in my house and I want it to be warmer but I don’t want to turn the heat on.

Dunno how tiny this one is.

One of my sisters just informed me she’s getting a divorce from her husband of 19 years.

Genuinely tiny: my toddler is upset that his shirt has short sleeves, because he can’t remember last summer. This would be cute if he wasn’t SO GRUMPY about our refusal to give him a ‘real’ shirt to wear.

My very tired toddler is having trouble falling asleep. Probably because it’s an hour before his normal bedtime, but he’s really, really tired. I am also tired. 4:30AM is only acceptable if I’m a butcher or a baker (I doubt candlestick makers get up that early).

My ibs is acting up again. Probably because I’ve been eating like crap for half a year straight.

Also possibly because you’re playing with seratonin levels and the majority of the seratonin in our body is in our guts, not our brains. Which is why SSRIs can be used quite effectively for some IBS and IBD patients. :+1:

But thank you.

Another tiny complaint: I let my Kindle totally run out of battery and now I can’t read on it. So I have to find a physical book to read. I don’t even have hand dexterity or pain issues but paperbacks are so much more uncomfortable to hold open and read.

Doggo reeeeaaaaally wants to go for a walk, and it is 32 degrees out. I am not ready for winter. This weather is BS!
